Opinion

The show must go on, with or without Sheen

What everyone’s missing here about Charlie Sheen is that, as well as being an irresponsible child, he’s also a selfish jerk (“Sue & a Half Men,” Feb. 28).

With his show now on hiatus and all but dead in the water, there’s an entire cast and crew out of work.

If you want to party yourself to death, do it on your own time.

Sheen’s vitriolic and threatening public rant aimed at CBS producer Chuck Lorre, coupled with his alleged wife-beating and woman-

izing prowess and multiple-drug-abusing lifestyle, makes him the favorite to win next year’s coveted inaugural Oscar for Most Narcissistic Actor.

As far as I’m concerned, Sheen and Lorre can both go pound salt.

I’m glad “Two and a Half Men” is off the air. I stopped watching it years ago.

Sheen’s escapades got worse as the show went on until his house was like a brothel.

Lorre gave the sleazy public what it wanted, and the rest of the TV producers followed.

How can we wonder what’s wrong with our kids?

When you have sunk so low, where else is there to go?

With the alcohol and drug-fueled antics of the self-destructive Sheen, we now realize who the half-man of his show really is.

As much as I hate

to add fuel to Sheen’s bonfire, I must chime in on his absurd attacks on Alcoholics Anonymous.

As a person whose family has greatly benefited from AA’s wisdom and the 12-Step Program, I found Sheen’s assertions uncalled for, unhelpful to those in recovery, arrogant and ill-informed.

His statements, that “in a nanosecond, I cured myself” and that “my success rate is 100 percent,” are outrageously untrue, nonsensical and offensive to the millions of people in recovery.

“Two and a Half Men” used to be funny and cutting-edge, but now it is just dated and old news.

Sheen’s character resembles a dirty old man rather than a fun-loving bachelor. Alan and Jake are the two men, and Charlie is, at most, the half.

His wild “lifestyle imitating art” has taken its toll.

What an ungracious pig Sheen is.

He makes about $1.2 million per episode for a 30-minute sitcom (which is actually only 22 minutes long, because the rest is commercials), and he’s not even in every scene.

Sheen seems to relish the way he embarrasses his parents, his children and his cast-mates, who, by the way, are now out of jobs because of Sheen’s erratic, selfish and wildly unprofessional behavior.

What world does this guy live in? I think all his cocaine must have rotted his brain.

I hope he saved his money.

After watching Matt LeBlanc play a spoiled, hard-drinking womanizer on the new series “Episodes,” I think he would be a perfect replacement for Sheen on “Two and a Half Men.”

Sheen seems to think he’s the reason we watch the show, but most of us love the show because both the writing and the entire cast are very funny.

We might like Charlie Harper, but we don’t like Charlie Sheen, and it won’t be hard to embrace someone else in that role.

Like Mel Gibson, Sheen has ended his career.

Sheen should be sued and made to pay the salaries of all the workers on the set who have to live check-to-check in an economy ruined by another liberal punk.
